 Step-by-Step: How to Hang Your Canvas Wall Art

✅ Step 1: Check Your Hanging Kit

Make sure all components (hooks, screws, D-rings) are included in the package. If anything’s missing, contact our support team for a replacement.

✅ Step 2: Attach D-Rings to the Back of the Canvas

1. Lay your canvas face-down on a flat surface.

2. Position each D-ring on both sides of the upper back frame, around 2–3 inches from the top.

3. Use a screwdriver to fasten the screws into the wood securely.

Tip: Align both D-rings at the same height for a balanced hanging.

✅ Step 3: Choose and Mark the Wall Position

1. Hold the canvas against your wall and visualize where you want it.

2. Mark the top center or where the D-rings will hang using a pencil.

3. For multi-panel art, lay the pieces out on the floor first, then measure spacing.

✅ Step 4: Install Wall Hooks or Nails

1. Position your nail or hook on the pencil mark.

2. Gently hammer it in – make sure it’s flush and secure.

3. Repeat for the second hook, measuring to keep both aligned. 
    ⚠️ For hard walls (concrete or tile), consider using heavy-duty adhesive hooks or wall anchors.

✅ Step 5: Hang the Canvas

1. Line up the D-rings with the wall hooks.

2. Gently hang the artwork, adjusting slightly to center it.

3. Use a level to ensure it’s straight.

Extra Tips for a Picture-Perfect Look

• Ideal height: Hang artwork so the center is about 57–63 inches from the floor – close to average eye level.

• Use a level: Especially important for large or multi-panel canvas sets.

• Leave spacing: When hanging multiple pieces, leave 1–2 inches between each for balance.

• Avoid direct sunlight: Helps prevent fading or warping of the canvas.

• Avoid moisture-prone walls: Protects the wooden frame and keeps your canvas in shape.
